Day 9: Sunday, July 14. 

  This morning we had breakfast duty, which wasn’t that bad. We only serve bagels with cream and coffee since we had to leave early to the Deachutes River Trail. The Deachutes River Trail was beautiful, walking next to a river felt peaceful. Then, we took off to jessica’s friend house, they were very kind to us. Jessica's friend cooked us some hamburgers, one of the best homemade hamburgers I have ever eaten. They even let us use the shower. The family really made us feel like home. After spending some days in the woods being in a house felt great. The family contribution really made this field trip much better.

Day 13: Thursday, July 18.    It was a long morning for me today. We had to pack everything up to go the beach. Our group decided to go to the beach for our last trip in this amazing adventure. I didn’t appose to that since I have never been to the beach. I couldn’t wait to arrive. When we got there my expectations didn’t disappoint me. The beach is beautiful. After we ate dinner I couldn’t wait for the sunset. Just like in the movies the sundown was amazing. At night before going to sleep we did the circle. Everybody had the chance to talk about how they felt during the trip. I’m just happy to have had this amazing opportunity. Also, I’m very thankful for my classmate for making me feel part of the group.

Day 1:   Saturday, July 6.      It’s been a day since we started camping. At first my expectations were really low. This is my first time going camping and everything we are doing is new for me. I have seen how technology has really changed the way we live and you notice this the second you go camping. You need to depend more on natural resources than on technology that makes our way of life a lot easier, like a stove, microwave and electricity.

Day 5: Wednesday, July 10.    After a long and confusing night we headed to The fire management department. There Bob Sjolund did a presentation of the importance of prescribed fire and how important it is to practice this technique in order to improve the environment and to also to help prevent wild fires. This technique was used way back by tribes in order to keep the environment and its sources in good condition. They also showed us how treating landscapes can help bring much richer environment and healthier trees. Fire - it’s not always bad. It helps us improve our natural resources and also help us prevent wild fires that can affect many people and animals.
